A day was destined to uncover the abundant talent pool of Comodo cricketers and that day was none other than March 21, 2009. Mighty sixes, fantabulous fours, flicks, hooks, pulls, straight drives, on-drives, off-drives and unorthodox shots were a common sight on this ecstatic Saturday morning. Field restrictions were enforced only behind the square, so players enjoyed the liberty to score in the remaining vast area.

Most of the players assembled at  the RA  puram ground with more punctuality than ever before. A sure sign of augmentation in popularity of weekly cricket among Comodo cricketers was evident from the rising count of players who had gathered to relish the game of cricket. Applauses to the spirited players who came for the match after having just finished their night shift. Nineteen players got together on the ground to exhibit their skills and to savor the game.

The first match of the day began around 6.30 am and as usual the team captains went on to choose players for their team.

Bala won the toss for the opening match and opted to bat first. Bala’s team piled up a total of 62 runs in 12 overs and set 63 as the target for the chasing team. Jaikant’s team batted well and accomplished the required score in 12 overs. But it was not an easy win for Jaikant’s team as the batsmen had to toil hard to chase the target runs. Full credit to Bala’s team for containing the batsmen in the middle of the innings and dragging the game till the last ball of the final over.The game would have ended in a tie but for Girish who held on to his nerves to produce victory for his side by hitting the required single in the last ball.

After the completion of the first match a coin was tossed in the air to commence the second match. Again Bala won the toss and elected to bat. This time Bala’s team scored more runs than the first match and that too in just 10 overs. The chasing team was set a target of 76 runs. Jaikant’s team had to confront a poor start but they managed to stage a comeback to the game after the fourth over. Blitzkrieg batting by Jaikant gave a small hope to the chasing team, but they had to embrace defeat in the end.
